8 Products You Need If You Just Started Wearing Makeup

1. Concealer
If you're just getting into makeup, liquid concealer is pretty much your BFF. I like the CoverGirl brand, personally, but pretty much any type that's blendable and close to your skin tone will do.

6. Barely-There Blush
Blush can be a great way to make you look perky all day, even if you spent the entire night before slaving over an AP World History project. I like this powder blush from Milani--it's easy to apply and is pretty flattering on everyone.

8. Clear Lip Gloss
Finally, clear lip gloss is a great way to dress up your look without having to think too much about it. Just put some on (but, you know, not too much--
